Restaurants near TownePlace Suites Sacramento Cal Expo

A regular in our rota of fine restaurants in Sacramento, Paragary's never disappoints. We split the Caesar Salad: lemony, garlicky, Parmesan, great flavors. Then one of us had linguine with clams and one of us had the tagliatelle with lamb ragu and we were in pasta heaven. Wine list has CA favorites (Navarro, for one) and some international listings. Our server, Wyman, was attentive and professional on a very busy night.

Our waiter Cam offered the greatest service celebrating my birthday with family. Ambience here is serene and beautiful, food is cooked with simplicity bringing out its true flavors, scallops, filet mignon and rainbow trout were our choices. You can’t go wrong with any of them! We will be back again and again.

The food was tasty and the staffs were very kind! We really enjoyed corn bread, steak frites, lasagna, banana cream pie and lime pie!

I will be returning to Ella. This initial experience was a lunch time that. I enjoyed the burger and learned about the process of creating the meal, the baking of the bread, and the quality of meat used, just how this meal differs from Ella's sister resturants. The NA tonic was refreshing, I look forward to giving their signature G&T a try. The ambiance is refreshing in Sacramento, where we have so few high-end establishments. I'd recommend visiting solo at the bar, at a table with a friend's or a private space to enjoy your party. Pricing was fine, overall comparable to area resturants.

Don't judge a book by its cover. My in-laws sniffed at the Starbucks cafe setting and sniffed some more when the tea came in actual Starbucks paper cups. I had my apprehensions too, but boy, were we wrong. In all my years of reviews, I've always held back: never raving and never using exclamation marks, and I'm so glad I saved them for Tribute Bistro, because their food and service were fantastic! I'm always leery about ordering Brussels sprouts because other restaurants either burn them or undercook them, but Tribute's were crispy, fully-cooked and delicious (my ten-year-old kept stealing from my plate)! The yummy chicken pot pie was generously sized and thoughtfully came with a perfectly dressed arugula salad. Burgers were cooked right (although we could have done without the BBQ sauce as we're not used to sweet sauces) but the star of the dish was the thick cut garlic fries: crispy outside, tender inside. I've never had thick cut fries so good. If you like your tomato soup smooth like a bisque, you will be disappointed. Tribute's is country style: very tomatoey with just the right amount of basil--I loved it! The grilled cheese sandwich was all grown-up: real cheese on sourdough. So if you don't mind decor that includes a nook to print out your boarding pass, go to Tribute's Bistro for comfort food. (We'll try the pricier fare next time.)
